Short Uncontained Poems

The darker side of morning,
  the drier side of rain

A memory left forgetting
  —a spirit uncontained

Music to the ears
                 Pure, uncontained ecstasy
                                           Three words..."I love you"

Melodies remain
Uncontained by time's goodbyes
Songbook of refrain
Immersed with dim, nimbus eyes
Chorus chords immortalized

I took a step forward
and motion ensued
Another couple steps toward
True gratitude
My momentum gained
as did my altitude
Freedom attained 
but of greater magnitude
Not merely uncontained
In a quaint interlude
But divinely unrestrained 
And verily imbued...

Zeal uncontained, needing quarantine
Oscillating rigor mortis, feigned or real
Madness, the only description saleable
Both for actors and non actors alike
Invested in the runaway train consumers
Enjoy at the expense of real tragedy
Shuttered from public view, until it's not

An android phone, put simply, is death.
Its blue light reveals corpses in faces
as viruses and viral videos spread uncontained contagion.
Men walk dead, necks broken, hungry for brains.
someone else's thoughts distract them from the pain
of their silent, rotting faces. 
strangers are comfort food, as their skin
stretches tighter and tighter on their bones.

There she slumbers, 
Under the grey skies, 
Knitting her black and whites, 
Into a tune 
or 
Call it a remedy,
Medicine for subliminal tragedies, 
She is not gentle, 
but fierce, 
Painting her masterpiece 
As she rehearse, 
Strength is the synonym, 
Risking on the surface, 
The fear of being uncontained, 
The pain endured Moment by moment, 
To hold a life inside- Too affluent....

An outpouring of the soul
A sense of release and escape from all confinement
A voice --- a source of power and strength
Emotions --- uncontained
A raw honesty
Vulnerability to the bone
A portrait of a time distant or proximate
A healing from within
A poet’s worth --- undeniable
Beyond the limits of the universe
And the artist’s definition of the word

Colors pouring over the ridges
The uncontained paint
Colors that never shined
Braving  the sky
Roaring over the plains
The snow reflects the flowers in the sky
Sitting in the back curled in my sleeping bag
The sky feeling like a second cover
Warmer watching the fire roar over the sky
Gazing at the bliss
The brewing can be heard over the fire
Wind picks up the strong coffee smell
Warmth in the sky and my mug...

Dream your dreams,
                  But chase them, never...!
                  Chased dreams just escape
                   uncontained.. hunted dreams
                    are bold and run away...
                    They are almost never achieved.!
                    Sweetly dreamed dreams one day
                    come true...
                     dream your dreams, dream  worth
                      a life... !...

Color me tears

 

These tears have been recycled-

not an environment saving measure,

they have been repackaged, rebranded,

recycled, reused but not reduced.

Not purified-they contain same organic

and inorganic substances.

My recycled  - reused  tears

which continue  to flow-

from the day of the birthday suit ,to the end.

These gentle  tears migrate  like  bottles in a  depot,

Unrestrained, uncontained but never reduced...

A baseball game is fun to watch and cheer
For nine innings are spectators all geared
Pitchers and batters, runners and fielders
Excitement uncontained as umpires yell there
Batter up is the sound pitcher to the mound
The hindcatcher yells the batter Now!
As the batter swings the crack is heard
Foul ball is the umpires voice and final word
Two strikes and three balls while the batter eyes all
The pitch is thrown as the batter swings tall

Maddening thought to process such a word
Mad definition defining more than anger
Mad upset feeling fever flushed climatic danger
Mad mangled minor class offense verse major
Madly suggestive messages a madden proclaimer
Mad made digestive mental notes selective 
Madder matters making moves motioning more
Minds mad capacities hijacking brains plane
Mad makers massive maze uncontained 
Moistening our various vented veins change
Mad to be or not to be?
Crazy…...

Plunging through rough terrain,
Head held high,
Leading others with passion uncontained,
Blazing clearly in the scattered blue sky.

No matter how relentless,
The obstacles assail,
He will defy nature,
And therefore prevail.

Pushing others behind,
Sharing courage to go above,
To reach the path desired,
And share unconditional love.

Looking up to the rising leader,
A bold silhouette others have sought,
That makes the vital choice,
That we follow without a doubt....
